Iíd like to say thank you to a church group. Iím a disabled person on a limited income and the government cut food stamps, and a member of the church took up a collection and we got two boxes of food especially suited for a diabetic, and then they found out we donít have propane and weíre living in one room and they donated a quartz heater. We were so blessed that we want to thank that church.

There was a comment the other day saying Mt. Pleasant has a terrible snow removal program. That is the opposite of the truth. They do a wonderful job, and they clear the west side, where I live, very quickly and efficiently. In the 28 years Iíve lived here theyíve always done a great job. They are a wonderful crew and I want them to know it. And itís not fair to complain about them doing only Mission Street. Thatís a state highway.

I see in California transgender students can now choose which rest rooms they want to use and which sports teams they want to play on. Are those people pushing things just a little too far? Is there something in the water out there?

Iíd like to thank the lady and gentleman who stopped by my house on Christmas Eve unexpectedly. I have no idea who they were, but they delivered gifts to my children. I was unable to do that this year, and it was so special and I want them to know how much it was appreciated.

Congratulations to the Michigan State Spartans and my Nebraska Cornhuskers for bringing home bowl victories. And I also want to thank Randy and the team at Dial-A-Ride for running the buses on Christmas Eve, and thank them for going out to Petticoat Junction and the St. Louis Library. Even thought we donít have countywide bus service, Iím glad we do have that.

Hey, picky person, strictly speaking the article was on restaurants and eateries on Mission Street. The Satellite, even though it may have been on the circuit, was on Preston, not Mission. So the article was correct.

Pathetic. MSU wins the 100th Rose Bowl and the Wings get the big picture? Pathetic.

Itís sad that our local high school kids in sports have to endure recruits from outside of our town. All the years put in for leagues, weight training and camps, supported by parents and businesses, this is not a college program. These are our homegrown kids.

Your editorial about tolerance is certainly wrong. I understand that the Duck Dynasty redneck has the right to spout his individual ideas, but I certainly do not have to accept it.
